I am serious. From what I understand, it's a canvas painting. Not a poster

Yeah it's an original. Not a reprint or anything like that. And I will have something done by pollard hanging on my wall at some point in my life.

the auction is for the original canvas painting..a print is a print, which you may call a poster.

Does anybody know if there are prints out there of the painting from the auction? Currently not in the position to drop the $1,000+ to win the auction, but would absolutely love a print of this painting.

You can get general sense of size by looking at the picture in the article. It's big

I think evo is/was selling prints.

http://www.evo.com/evo-calm-before-the-storm-11x17.aspx 11x17

http://www.evo.com/evo-calm-before-the-storm-20x30.aspx

and 20x30, which is pretty big. I had one of my photos printed at like 16x16 or something near that and I was surprised when I saw it. I thought it was going to be smaller/less impressive.

LineSkis: do you know if he has prints now?
